About this map

The Colorado and New Mexico state line bisects this high-desert landscape, where the San Juan County and Montezuma County borders meet. This high-plateau geography is defined by prominent landmarks such as Skinney Rock and Flat Top Rock, which serve as permanent navigational waypoints across the arid terrain. The drainage patterns of Tanner Canyon and Weekley Canyon illustrate the erosional forces that have shaped the land, while isolated water sources like Pouch Spring and 12R-195 Spring remain critical features in an otherwise dry environment.

Transportation through the area is facilitated by established routes such as Indian Svc Rte 5091 and Indian Svc Rte 5030, linking the scattered hills and draws. Landforms like Black Cone and White Hill provide distinctive geological contrast against the drainages of Salt Cr Wash and Malpuis Arroyo. The map captures a region where administrative boundaries overlap a stark physical landscape of named buttes, hills, and intermittent watercourses.
